President Barack Obama's Cousin Sues The Police For $600,000 For Farting On Her

Obama's Cousin Unable To Get
Her Second Wind After Police Farted On Her

Marie Auma

Marie Auma, a cousin of U.S. President, Barack Obama, has
sued the Metropolitan Police in London, England for what she
states in her lawsuit is, "21st century bullying." The bizarre
case has the appearance of a frivolous lawsuit, as Auma has sued
over two police officers farting at her desk in separate
incidents. However, you can't sue someone for farting on or at
you. It is unheard of and there is no legal precedent
establishing a court victory on such a petty basis.

Auma also sued stating she was not given time off to visit
her brother's grave in Kenya, after a 2007 car crash. The
Judiciary Report sends its condolences on the passing of Auma's
brother. However, once again, one cannot sue one's employer for
not giving one time off (unless one had a medical emergency at
work and needed immediate treatment at a hospital to save one's
life, which employers do not refuse).

There are millions of people all over the world that want
specific days off work and a large number of them do not receive
it, but it is not grounds for a lawsuit. To state being farted
on and not being given the day off you wanted became the reason
you developed mental health problems ("a mental breakdown) is
shoddy. There are underlying problems in your life that created
the mental health crisis. No fart has the ability to create such
a psychological impact.

The lawsuit does not indicate you were hit, assaulted, called
derogatory names, stalked or terrorized. It appears as though
the job was too much for Auma and she was better suited to
employment elsewhere. In life you can't force others to like you
or show you reverential treatment. If you are unhappy with your
work environment, it is best to seek employment elsewhere in a
post where you can be happy with relatively less stress in your
job structure.

Police work is stressful in nature, as it involves dealing
with crime. And let's face it, some horrible things can happen
to people of all ages in this world that requires police
intervention or investigation, with the goal of prosecutorial
charges.

Side Bar: People fart all over the world. It's a
normal bodily function. It happens. But people who fart in
elevators, I have a question for you, why can't you hold it a
few seconds until you get outside. Why fart up the place in an
enclosed elevator with a limited amount of oxygen available and
have people wanting to pass out from the noxious gasses (LOL).
This is just my personal view, but I think people should be
issued citations and fines for farting in elevators (I'm
kidding).

Wednesday 23 September 2015 10:19 BST - A cousin of US
President Barack Obama is demanding £400,000 from the Met police
after claiming colleagues deliberately broke wind beside her
desk to make her life a misery. It was part of a campaign of
“21st century bullying” that Marie Auma was subjected to when
she worked at Southwark police station, a court heard.

Miss Auma, 57, who was at Mr Obama’s Washington inauguration
in 2009, claims she was “belittled and humiliated” as officers
and other employees harassed her and two of them deliberately
broke wind beside her desk. Miss Auma is related to Mr Obama
through her aunt, Kezia Obama, who is the president’s stepmother
and lives in Bracknell.

Central London county court was told that the bullying
started when she was refused leave to visit her brother’s grave
after he died in a car crash in Kenya in 2007 and ended in her
being medically retired with mental health problems. Miss Auma,
of Haringey, is suing for compensation but the Met denies
liability. Her barrister Lorraine Mensah told Judge Simon
Freeland that Miss Auma, whose job as a civilian worker involved
liaising with crime victims, had been subjected to “21st century
bullying” in a string of incidents between 2007 and 2009...

There was a “culture of over- zealous, oppressive managing”
of Miss Auma, who had worked as a civilian initially in the
Telephone Investigations Bureau. She had also been forced to
take “inappropriate” breaks, making it next to impossible for
her to meet her work targets, Mrs Mensah said...
